Awww you’re welcome!!!! ^~^

;___;

I’ve officially died and gone to heaven I can’t take all this love and affection asjfksdlfs

serious answer: For a military man, you'd think he'd be pretty severe, yeah? I mean, most of the other characters within the military are serious men and women because Amestris is such a war torn country. Considering what he did in Ishval and throwing around statements like "I recognize the smell of burnt flesh", this doesn't go hand in hand with his goofiness we see in present time of canon.

But out of Ishval, there are notably 3 characters like this: Roy, Hughes, and Armstrong.

Armstrong left the the battlefield in tune with his morals, but I'd also say he's pretty serious despite the light of comedic relief he's showcased in.

Hughes, however, aggressively tells Roy that he’ll swallow whatever grief and guilt and will smile always in front of Gracia, swearing to make her happy, because it is his belief that raising a family with the woman you love and living a normal life is something that is enjoyed everywhere. Hughes intends to look towards the future to deal with the past - a very similar basis to Mustang’s ambitious goal for a seat as Fuhrer. But that would still make him a serious individual since the seat doesn’t have the emotional reciprocation Hughes gets from having Gracia.

So this brings me to my tinfoil hat belief that Roy does the same in the face of his subordinates, specifically Riza. Betrayed her trust, literally burned the flesh that fed him, and then entrusted his back to her (and vice versa). His oldest friend, his dearest subordinate and more than likely the first of the Mustgang. Shoot me if there’s no plausibility in this, but maybe he developed gallows humor and started cracking jokes or being a dork, trying to evoke other positive emotions from her - anything to make her smile so he could feel something too. And it just expanded from there as the Mustgang grew and but by then,  it also helped with the facade that he was just a young upstart. I narrow in on Riza, not because I am so deep in royai hell, but because if I were to follow this theory then he would have chosen someone else as Riza is part of the military and his subordinate, he cannot  raise a family with her. 

But what really resonates with me is that he asks Hughes in Ishval: "how can you hold the woman you love with blood stained hands"

It’s so easy, Roy -  like this:

Tl;dr: roy loves riza. 

I’m so blessed I got to meet Vic and he talked to me and he gave me a hug ;_; 

I genuinely did start by saying, “Hi, I’m nervous,” and then he said, “No, don’t be!” He asked me my name so he could write it in my FMA book, and then he spelled it out loud and asked if he got it right. (He did!! Which is rare) Then he started saying that his aunt has the same name as me. Then I started rambling about how I’ve been a fan of him since I was 11, and now I’m 22, so it’s basically half of my life, etc. and he went :O “Is this the first time I’m meeting you?” and I said yes, and he looked so genuinely appreciative!! And then I got to take a picture with him, and he hugged me <3 

I was STARSTRUCK!! and then my hands wouldn’t stop shaking for 10 minutes
